I am by no means a professional, but I gave them a try, and all you see here is the way I used them. I am not sure if there is the right or wrong way of using them, so here is break down.
When I got them, I used the swatch sticks to figure out how to properly use them.
First, I applied the white base (I used Madam Glam - Dance In The Snow), then I topped it with the Velvet - matte top coat.
I applied inks, and just played with them. When I was happy with the results, I applied No Wipe top coat.
Then I tried them on my nails. I started the same, only I skipped matte top coat. I wanted to see if there was any difference with the way they applied.
No difference at all. This is how it looked when I was done.
When I applied them on my nails, I quickly brushed the ink over whole nail to tint a base a little. I noticed that dabbing the ink on the spots will leave the more of the metallic shimmer. If you think you applied too much of the ink on one spot, you will need to use the brush dipped in acetone to thin it down. They dry almost immediately, so you really don't have much time to manipulate them.
Colors I received are as follows: Serpent (emerald green) on my pinky; Year of Glam (yellow) on my ring finger, Nectar of Gods (orange) on my middle finger and Mahjong (purple?) on my index finger.
They are pretty on their own, but I love them combined. Just look at my thumb.
After I cured it, I applied the gold chrome powder. It did not applied perfectly, but I actually liked this, as it reminded me of hematite veining...
All was topped with No Wipe top coat.

It is almost a weekend, and I am holding my breath that there will be no day 5 of killer headache/migraine that did not leave me since Monday!
Have a wonderful day everyone!
Cheers!
